So what was this previous "BrowsePoll" called ?  This I assume the
mechanism I was using before but no longer works.

Yes, we only have one subnet here. We don't need the across routers
(IIUC "multi-network") use case.


My client has a "Ricoh Aficio SP3510DN network printer with built in
IPP server", and now I can't seem to detect it. I'm wondering how I
can typically detect it. Do I need Avahi with Bonjour nowadays?


Thanks again,
